This table contains the weekly summaries of
fatalities and catastrophes resulting in the hospitalization of three or
more workers. Employers must report these incidents to OSHA within
eight hours. The summaries below include only preliminary information,
as reported to OSHA Area Offices or to States which operate
OSHA-approved State Plans. The fatalities listed here include only
those that initially appear to be work-related, but exclude fatalities
that do not appear to be work-related, such as an apparent heart attack
of a sedentary worker. OSHA investigates all work-related fatalities
and catastrophes. After OSHA's investigation is complete, these reports
will be updated with inspection results and citation information.
